The Lazy Life Of Raine

Forgiveness (5)

As everyone clapped, Rhea gasped.  How did she not make the connection when she got here?   The artist Luna Willow was her sister. Her alias had her own name in it, how did she not realize it until this moment.  

The door opened to an applause from the crowd.  Willow’s red wine dress contoured her body perfectly before spreading out to the ground.  The slit in her dress showed her right leg as she walked. The sweetheart dress covered just enough of her breast, however anyone taller than her would see her cleavage. Her hair was in soft waves and swept to one side, showing off her long neck.  

By the time Rhea realized that the beautiful woman on stage was her sister, Willow had already made a speech and made her way down the steps.  The crowd surged towards Willow to get her attention and it wasn’t until another hour passed that Willow made her way towards Rhea.

“Surprise!”  Willow said as she walked towards Rhea and hugged her tightly.  

“What a surprise in deed!  Why didn’t you tell me that you’re the famous Luna Willow!”  

Willow pulled back and smiled at Rhea.  

“Because, I just wanted to be your sister, when I’m with you.”  Willow told her.

“Of course, your my little sister!  Even with or without your fame.”

“Good.  You can’t take it back!”  Willow smiled again before hugging Rhea a second time.  “It’s good to see you again Gage. Blaine.”

Willow shook both of Gage and Blaine’s hand professionally and gave them a courteous smile.  

“Thank you so much for coming, it means a lot to me that you guys could make it.”  

“Of course!  I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”  Gage told. “I’m glad to see that you’re doing well for yourself.”  

“Thanks!  I also want to thank you for taking care of Rhea over the years.  I’m glad you guys have each other.”

“Of course, I love her after all.”  

“Excuse me, Willow.”  Sable interrupted. “We have a couple of buyers who want to speak to you.”  

Willow turned to the group and smile apologetically.  

“I gotta go.”  

“Of course!  Go. Go.” Rhea said as she understood the situation.  

“If I don’t catch up with you later tonight, I’ll call you tomorrow morning?  We can do lunch, maybe?”

Rhea nodded her head.

“Lunch sounds wonderful!”  

“I’m so happy to see you again, Rhea.”  Willow said as she gave Rhea one last hug before leaving.  

The three of them looked as Willow got lost in the crowd.  Her grand opening was a success, as they were there to witness it.  

“She’s grown up so much.”  Rhea said as Gage held her close to his body.  

“She has.”  Gage agreed.

“She looks happy.”  

“She does.”  Gage agreed again.

“She’s so beautiful.”  

“Not as beautiful as you.”  Gage told her.

“Lets stay for a while, then leave.”  Rhea suggested. “Tonight, is her night, let’s enjoy it with her.”
